Ya know, those fancy watches, the ones they call Audemars Piguet? Folks say they cost a pretty penny. Thinkin’ about when they started up, especially over in that China place…well, it’s a bit of a head scratcher.
So, I heard tell these watches, they come from some place far away, Switzerland they call it. Two fellas, Audemars and Piguet, their names was, started makin’ ’em way back in 1875. That’s a long time ago, before my ol’ pappy was even born! They say these fellas, they knew watches inside and out, families been makin’ ’em for ages.
- Now, China, that’s a whole different story. Folks over there, they like fancy things too, I reckon. Don’t rightly know when these watches started showin’ up there, but seems like they’re a big deal.
- You gotta wonder, though, why they cost so much. Heard tell they use real good stuff to make ’em, and it takes a long time. Plus, they don’t make too many, so everyone wants one. Kinda like them fancy eggs from Miz Henny’s prize chicken, everyone wants one but she ain’t got enough to go around.
Them Audemars Piguet watches, they ain’t just for tellin’ time, no sir. They’re like a shiny bauble, somethin’ to show off. Kinda like my grandma’s fancy brooch, she only wore it on special days.
Folks talk about these watches holdin’ their value, like they’re gold or somethin’. Said you can sell ’em later on for more than you paid. Seems like a gamble to me, puttin’ all that money into a watch. But then again, some folks got more money than sense.
Now, these fellas, Audemars and Piguet, they started their business in a little town called Le Brassus. Must’ve been a quiet place back then. They built watches for other folks first, then decided to make their own. Smart fellas, I reckon.
Compare them watches to them Rolex ones…now that’s a tough one. Rolex, they say they’re tough as nails, keep tickin’ no matter what. Audemars Piguet, they’re more like a work of art, all fancy and delicate. Depends on what you’re lookin’ for, I guess. If you want something that’ll last through thick and thin, maybe go for the Rolex. If you want something pretty to look at, go for the Audemars Piguet.
So, back to that office bag in Causeway Bay… Never heard of a watch comin’ with a bag, but I suppose them fancy folks in China, they like things all matched up. Price? Don’t ask me, probably costs more than my whole house!
It’s all a bit much for me, all this talk of fancy watches and bags. Give me a good ol’ alarm clock any day, somethin’ that wakes me up in the mornin’ and don’t cost an arm and a leg. But hey, to each their own, right?
At the end of the day, them Audemars Piguet watches, they’re just watches. Fancy, expensive watches, sure, but they still tell time like any other. And that office bag, well, it’s just a bag to carry your stuff. Don’t let the price tag fool ya.
